How to set a default open with, for all files

I would simply like to make all my .avi files to open with VLC, rather than Quicktime. I have done the "change default open with", but it's only for that file.
Any way to make all avi's open with VLC?
Thanks!

Right-click any .AVI file and select Get Info. Under the "Open with" section, select the app you want, and then press the "Change All" button.

Change Open With for all files with a specific extension

Hi, I've been using OS X for quite some time, but more recently cannot see how you do the following which is proving frustrating:
* Open Get Info for a file,
* Use the drop down under Open With to choose Other,
* Select an appropriate application that wasn't on the drop down list (in this case Smultron text editor for CSV files),
* Press the Change All button and the drop down turns back to Excel which was the previous default.
So basically, how do I change all files with CSV extension to Smultron when Smultron wasn't in the list of Open With items and I have to use Other from the list. This is repeatable for any file type with any application that isn't listed and is on both my iMac and my work's MacBook. Try it yourself and you'll see what I mean!!
Thanks

Thanks NeroWolf,
Your solution does work for that single file, but doesn't change the system wide association of that file extension with a particular application. It is because this works that I believe the problem I am having is uncircumventable and is in fact a bug in the OS. Could anyone else confirm this?
Cheers,
Stuart
It might be a bug. What I found is that the icon does not change unless I log out/in or reboot, even when the app normally puts an icon on the file.
For example if I change an audio file to always open with VLC, it does even though the icon remains as before. However, even though clicking plays the audio with VLC, if I right click the file and select "Open With" it still says iTunes (app) default which is incorrect.

How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.

How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

John,
Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
*if ( bindingContext != null ) {*+
DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
*}*

How to set a default Billing type for a particular Delivery type

Dear All,
How to set a default billing type for a particular delivery type.
My requirement is, we are creating delivery for a Stock Transport Order. Delivery type is NL and the Purchase order type is UB.
When we are creating Billing, it should take Billing type "ZSTO" by default, which is the customised Billing type.
Where we have to do this setting?
In case of normal sales order, this control will be available in the Sales order document types.
In case STO, how to set a default billing type for a delivery type (NL).
Regards,
Rajesh

There is a customization available here no default or hard coded
Normally in a sales doc type we mention which billing type system has to pick
If the billing happens from a PO which billing type system will take depends on the controls set in the areas mentioned below
Go to your delivery type OVLK (say your delivery type is NL)
In that there is a field called default order qty in the order reference tab (say if you maintained DL there)
This DL is called PSEUDO order type
Then in VOV8 for DL based on the billing types mentioned ,system will take the billing doc
For delivery related billing say if you mention say ZF8 in the details of DL in VOV8(provided you have created ZF8)
Then while you bill the delivery doc of NL system will take ZF8
For intercompany delivery you can create ZIV billing type also Pure customization
PO is linked to delivery type ( MM spro settings)--Del type linked to order (pseudo) type---in order type (pseudo) we mention the billing types. Here the flow is bit different that pure SD flow
Though the invoice is crated by manually putting customized Biiling Type and A/Cing doc also generated, but in the VF04 still system shows the same deliveries pending with Billing Type (F2).
This manual is not reqd if the said assignments are done properly
Hope it can assist you.
Thanks & Regards
JP

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How to set the default maximum size for java's heap?

Hi!
Im trying to set the default max size for the java heap - but not from the command line.
I would like to set it higher as default on my computer.. how can I do that?
thanks!

>
...You may increase the memory heap only when you're launching a new JVM.>Much like IWantToBeBig does.
OTOH, it this is an app. with a GUI, it is easier to launch it using webstart, and request extra memory in the JNLP descriptor (the webstart launch file).

How to set different default interactive reports for different user groups?

I'm probably overlooking an obvious solution, but how do I set different default interactive report for different user groups?
For the same interactive report, I want one set of users to see a default where the default filter is based on column X. However, another group of users doesn't have authorization to see that column so I need to set the default filter to something else for them.
Thanks

You can set a filter on a report in a URL - would that help? I think with apex 4.x you can also link to a saved default report or alternative report...

How to set a default output device for FAX outputs

Hi Experts,
Business requires to set a default output device for fax outputs ( Medium as 2 Fax medium ).
as fas as print output ( medium as 1 print medium ) is considered we can maintain output device in condition record--> communication
I tried maintaining output device in VP01 for my condition type based on sales org but it did not worked.
Can you please suggest ways to achieve default output device for fax outputs.
Thanks,

Well, obvious solution would be to either update user profiles or change the output from 'process immediately' to 'process by a background job'. Then create a generic user ID with any fax number desired and use that user ID to process the output through the background job.
This is not really an SD question, so if this simple option doesn't work for you, I'd suggest to discuss other custom solution with your ABAP / Basis team.

How to set the default web site for WGM users

Hi,
In Tiger server there was a place to input the URL of the default web page for all browsers when users logged into network home folders. This was really helpful and saved a bunch of bandwidth and class time. Is there any way to do this in Leopard server? If so, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
..Tom

Antonio, Thanks! That seems to have worked for Safari. However, we like Firefox too, and I tried to set that up the same way, but was told "can't find a manifest for that app". I wonder if I can copy the Safari list then alter and rename it?
